Philip K. Dick's "Flow My Tears" Being Adapted

Halcyon co-founders and co-CEOs Victor Kubicek and Derek Anderson, who picked up first-look rights to sci-fi author Philip K Dick's estate in 2007, have selected his 1974 novel "Flow My Tears, the Policeman Said" as the first of his works they will adapt for the screen.

Set in a futuristic, dystopian world, "Tears" is the tale of a celebrity who wakes up after an assassination attempt to find no one has ever heard of him.

Dick's works have served as the basis for such movies as "Blade Runner," "Total Recall," "Minority Report" and "A Scanner Darkly," which together have grossed more than $1 billion worldwide.
